An almost complete cross-slab (RO056-007003-) and fragments of nine others are displayed in the graveyard, but four recorded slabs are not present. This is a roughly rectangular piece of what is probably sandstone (Wth 26cm; H 17cm). It has two parallel curving incised lines that may be the ring of a cross and there are two more closely spaced incised and curving lines on a different circle at a corner of the stone (Herity et al. 1997, 115, 012, Cloonburren 009).
